4 Cravings-Busting Treats You Didn’t Know You Could Eat Frozen

Nothing beats a frozen snack in the summer, but most of the time when we think "frozen snack" we think about chocolate ice cream or strawberry popsicles, right? Instead of sticking with the staples, try one of these creative snacks!

Craving an icy, sweet snack? Frozen berries are often cheaper than fresh, and they are the perfect low-calorie, high-fiber, sweet, cold snack. If you’re not a berry fan, try frozen grapes (technically they are berries too) or even pomegranate arils. Eat them straight out of the freezer and let them melt in your mouth or leave them on the counter for 5 minutes or so to soften up slightly.

Craving a frozen snack that’s not soo sweet? Try frozen English peas, edamame, or corn. Frozen veggie’s nutrients and natural sweet flavor are locked in because they are flash frozen at their peak of freshness. They are not as hard as you might think, and when you pop them in your mouth, their starchy texture gives them an almost creamy mouth feel. The best part of eating veggies frozen? It slows you down so you end up feeling full and satisfied sooner and eat less.

Craving something really filling and creamy? Try frozen Greek yogurt! Many ice cream brands are coming out with their own versions of frozen Greek yogurt, and I’ve even seen it popping up in soft serve form at several frozen yogurt shops. The great thing about frozen Greek yogurt is that it has a richer, creamier texture than regular frozen yogurt and, like regular Greek yogurt, it also has more protein, which makes it more filling. Just make sure to chose a low-fat version.

Have a craving that will only be satisfied with ice cream? Then try Ramar Foods All-Natural Magnolia Tropical Ice Cream Line, which hit stores this month. Their six new all-natural tropical flavors are made from exotic foods that you would never think could be frozen into ice cream like refreshing Lychee, Coconut, Mango, Avocado, Thai Tea and
Ube (purple yams). I like them because not only are the flavors as interesting as they are tasty, they also contain up to 30% fresh fruit puree, and the fruit comes straight from family farms in the Philippines.
